La Muse Verte Pastis

Product description

The Pastis La Muse Verte is a secret concoction made by steeping over ten different plants in neutral spirits for several weeks, and then artfully blending them. The main ingredients are star anise from China, seed anise from Turkey, fennel, sage, and licorice. The oils obtained from the macerations are then filtered many times by traditional methods, just like in the ancient days. Made artisanally by a very small producer whose grandfather used to make Absinthe. The plants are steeped in sugar beet neutral spirit, not distilled. No wormwood (absinthe) according to US laws and EU regulations for Pastis designation. No sugar, coloring agent, synthetic anise, or preservatives. The fogginess comes from the anethol, a component found in the star anise, which becomes insoluble when mixed with water. A totally natural product that can be served on the rocks, mixed with water, or as a digestive.
